Kundalini Yoga Mantras

The power of mantra is amazing. A central aspect Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan is the conscious application of ancient mantras and modern positive affirmations.

Mantras are typically in Gurmukhi, a sacred Indian language, and occasionally, in English. These mantras contain the vibrations of peace, prosperity, connection, and many other qualities and are understood by their impact, even if the meaning of each word is not known. Pronunciation comes with repetition and by example. Many mantras are available to listen to on the KRI website. Understanding the meaning of the words adds another layer of effectiveness to chanting. The translations for a few of the most frequently used mantras in Kundalini Yoga are given below.
